Chapter 1068: Greed
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We can only wait for the Alchemy Conference to end and inform the Alchemy Masters of our actions before we take action and kill Ye Shitian and his four subordinates!”
Cui Ming was worthy of being an experienced expert. He knew all the big forces and Alchemy Masters very well!
Given the current situation, if they attacked Ye Shitian recklessly, the Alchemy Masters would definitely take action. At that time, the conflict would involve too many parties and would turn into a chaotic battle.
“Are we just going to tolerate this?”
One of the Cui family’s guardians could not help but ask.
“The one we’re tolerating isn’t Ye Shitian, it’s Alchemy Master Ling Yi,” Elder Cui Ming said slowly, “The Alchemy Conference will be held in three days. During that time, you guys should set up the formation and keep track of Ye Shitian’s movements. When the conference is over, we will kill this b*stard!”
He said so on the surface, but in his heart, he was thinking, ‘We can’t expose our identities in front of the Alchemy Masters, who all believe that we died at the hands of the Blood Spirit Clan’s experts three and six hundred years ago!’
If they attacked now, they would definitely find out that the Cui family had sided with the Blood Spirit Clan, which would create a lot of trouble.
“Therefore, when the Alchemy Conference is over and all the Alchemy Masters have returned to seclusion, or when they are refining pills, the four of us will strike and kill Ye Shitian quickly. Then, we will return to seclusion and hide our identities!”
“Alright!”
“I don’t believe that we can’t kill that b*stard Ye Shitian this time,” Cui Yuan calmed down and continued, “After killing Ye Shitian, I’ll have to find Ye Chen and take revenge for the death of my son. I won’t let him off!”
“Family head, we won’t interfere in your son’s matters,” Cui Ming said, “We are only responsible for killing Ye Shitian!”
“Of course!” Cui Yuan nodded. “Even if you don’t take action, I’ve made sufficient preparations to kill this little b*stard Ye Chen!”
“Ye Chen is just a saint realm brat. He dared to threaten me back then, so I’ll take a leaf out of the Blood Spirit Clan’s books and skin him alive!”
Cui Ming and the other elders did not bother responding to Cui Yuan. Instead, they said, “We’ll leave first and make preparations to kill Ye Shitian. You guys act as you normally do at the Alchemy Conference!”
“Thank you, elders!”
Cui Yuan personally stood up to send them off. In terms of age, these four elders were his ancestors, so he had to behave respectfully. Furthermore, they were stronger than he was!
…
Inside the Core Tower, Alchemy Master Ling Yi looked up at the starry sky. There were specks of starlight and meteors streaking across the night sky from time to time.
“I wonder where that kid went…”
“Don’t worry, Ling Yi,” Alchemy Master Bai Wu said while seated at the side and drinking wine, “That kid is extraordinary, so he won’t be killed so easily. He might return for this Alchemy Conference!”
As a thousand-year-old friend of Alchemy Master Ling Yi, Alchemy Master Bai Wu would often drink and chat with him.
The two gatekeepers were still guarding the entrance. After consuming some of Alchemy Master Ling Yi’s unsuccessful pills, not only did their injuries recover, but they also advanced a step and reached the fifth level of the Daoyuan realm.
Alchemy Master Ling Yi sighed. ” Ye Chen… he’s Senior Lin’s disciple. He’ll definitely be fine!”
“Alchemy Master, the Luo family has something to report!” Old Fang came in to report.
“Let him in!” Alchemy Master Ling Yi took a sip of spirit wine and looked at the stars in the sky.
“Greetings, Alchemy Master Ling Yi! Alchemy Master Bai Wu!”
The one who came was the Luo family’s great guardian. He was extremely powerful, but he was extremely respectful to the two Alchemy Masters and did not dare to be careless and impudent.
“Why did you come to the Core Tower to look for me?” asked Alchemy Master Ling Yi.
“A young man named Ye Shitian appeared during the day!”
“I know!”
Alchemy Master Ling Yi looked at the Luo family’s great guardian. His gaze turned sharp. The aura of a superior bloomed and gradually pressed down on the great guardian. He said in a deep voice, “If you say that you’re only here to report this matter, then you’ll have a lot to answer for wasting my time!”
An Alchemy Master’s time was worth its weight in gold!
“No!”
“Ye Shitian seems to be Ye Chen’s senior brother,” The Great Guardian of the Luo Clan hurriedly said while bowing. He did not even dare to raise his head. “Today, the Luo family invited Ye Shitian to a banquet. Ye Shitian asked about the Alchemy Conference and said that his junior brother, Ye Chen, would be attending it!”
Whoosh!
“Ye Chen?” Alchemy Master Ling Yi turned around abruptly and looked at the great guardian of the Luo family with joy. Not someone with the same name?”
“I don’t think so,” the great guardian of the Luo Family said slowly, “Given Ye Shitian’s cultivation level and combat strength, he wouldn’t lie!”
“Furthermore, Ye Shitian has already left the Luo family’s residence!”
“Before he left, he left behind Ye Chen’s keepsake. That’s why the family head sent me here to inform the Alchemy Master!”
After hearing these words, Alchemy Master Ling Yi fell into deep thought, ‘When Ye Chen left a month ago, he was only a saint realm cultivator. He’s probably only reached the origin king realm now at most. Is he really confident that he can withstand the Cui family’s experts?’
‘Right, Ye Shitian is his senior brother. With such a powerful senior brother protecting him, he would definitely come back!’
Alchemy Master Ling Yi was overjoyed. “Alright, if Ye Chen returns, I’ll refine an Ancient Hundred Spirit Pill for him at the Alchemy Conference to increase his cultivation level. Also, if you meet Ye Shitian, tell him to be careful of Alchemy Master Xingtian!”
“Alchemy Master Xingtian will definitely strike at the first possible opportunity. If Ye Shitian can’t protect his junior brother, I’ll take action myself!”
Alchemy Master Ling Yi could be said to be extremely protective of Ye Chen, who was the disciple of his benefactor. Even if he had to risk his life, he would protect Ye Chen!
“Yes, sir!”
“However, what about the Cui family and Alchemy Master Xingtian?”
“You don’t have to worry too much about that. I’ll naturally send someone to deal with some things,” Alchemy Master Ling Yi said disdainfully.
“Thank you, Alchemy Master!”
After the Luo family’s great guardian left, Alchemy Master Bai Wu thought about Ye Chen and Ye Shitian while drinking, muttering,” One is strong in alchemy but weak in martial arts. The other is extremely strong in martial arts and is even comparable to the experts from the older generation. However, his talent in alchemy might be lacking!”
“Such powerful brothers!”
“I really don’t know which senior taught them!”
“More importantly, Ye Shitian has four ninth-level Daoyuan realm geniuses as his subordinates. There’s definitely more to him than meets the eye!”
For such geniuses to be willing to be Ye Shitian’s subordinates, there had to be something extraordinary about him!
Could he be from that place?
At this moment, Alchemy Master Bai Wu’s eyes actually revealed a trace of greed!
However, this greed was fleeting and was not detected by Alchemy Master Ling Yi.
